Dr. Haver highlights the risks of osteoporosis and the potential benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), while cautioning against solely focusing on calorie restriction and the potential negative impacts of certain weight-loss medications if not combined with proper lifestyle changes. The interview concludes with advice on creatine supplementation and collagen's potential benefits for bone and skin health.
